My preference is leans toward the "AT" class machines. The benefits are low cost and just about any vendors parts will work in it. Also any sequencing software written for the PC will work. Cakewalk and some others work well on the "AT" (and some XT's), but if you are thinking of MasterTracks I would suggest a '386 PC cause MasterTracks runs under Windows. > So, if you've got a PC you really like and that seems to work really well > with a wide range of off-the-shelf software paks, let me know. > Again, almost any will do.

Hi Bill: I'm interested in what response you get from this. I'm posting a message about PC Midi applications asking what is really good out there in the PC line. So please pass on any info you get. My idea is to to see what sort of response PC users of synth music give. I'm looking at Mac, Atari and PC for music applications and trying to get as many opinions as possible. Right now I'm using an Amiga which is a nice machine but the big software music paks are not there for it. Mac is a current local favorite but its pricey. So howzabout a PC? Good luck Paul
